Get Known if you don't have an account Share Comic Strip / The Wizard of Id × WMG The Wizard of Id is a daily newspaper comic strip created by American cartoonists Brant Parker and Johnny Hart. Beginning in 1964, the strip follows the antics of a large cast of characters in a shabby medieval kingdom called "Id". From time to time, the King refers to his subjects as "Idiots". (The title is a play on The Wizard of Oz , combined with the Freudian psychological term Id, which represents the instinctive and primal part of the human psyche.) The Wizard of Id deals with the goings-on of the run-down and oppressed mythical kingdom of Id. It follows people from all corners of the kingdom, but concentrates on the court of a tyrannical dwarfish monarch known only as "the King". The cast is large for a daily cartoon strip, and there are recurring jokes for a variety of continuing characters and for the kingdom itself. While it's set a thousand years ago, the strip's humor occasionally satirizes modern American culture, and deliberate anachronisms are rampant.

Technology changes to suit whatever a gag requires; a battle with spears and arrows might be followed by a peasant using an ATM. The general trend is that even though the personalities of the characters are well known, their surroundings will morph to allow a good joke. For instance, in some strips the King is curiously elected to his monarchial position (albeit through rigged ballots), no thanks to the Duke suggesting while drunk the first time it happened that they hold an election which became an annual event. The aspects that stay the same, however, are that Id is in the middle of nowhere, home to a large castle surrounded by a moat. The King and his subjects run an inept army perpetually at war with "the Huns", while the unhappy, overtaxed peasants (or Idiots) make little money as farmers and stablehands to keep modest lifestyles.

Add To Cart The Wizard of Id : Wikis (The Full Wiki) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Wizard of Id Creators Syndicate The Wizard of Id is a daily newspaper comic strip created by American cartoonists Brant Parker and Johnny Hart . Beginning in 1964, the strip follows the antics of a large cast of characters in a shabby medieval kingdom called "Id". From time to time, the King refers to his subjects as "Idiots".

(The title is a play on The Wizard of Oz , combined with the Freudian psychological term Id , which represents the instinctive and primal part of the human psyche .) In 1997 Brant Parker passed his duties on to his son Jeff Parker, who had already been involved with creating Id for a decade. Currently the strip appears in some 1,000 newspapers all over the world, syndicated by Creators Syndicate . Contents 4 External links Overview In the early 1960s Johnny Hart, already successful for creating B.C. , began collaborating with his friend, then-unpublished cartoonist Brant Parker, on a new comic strip. (Parker would go on to create the strips Crock and Out of Bounds .) Having already drawn cartoons about the Stone Age , Hart advanced through time to the Middle Ages , taking an idea from a deck of playing cards . The Wizard of Id was first syndicated on November 9, 1964, drawn by Parker and co-written by Parker and Hart. The Wizard of Id deals with the goings-on of the run-down and oppressed mythical kingdom of Id.

It follows people from all corners of the kingdom, but concentrates on the court of a tyrannical dwarfish monarch known only as "the King". The cast is large for a daily cartoon strip, and there are recurring jokes for a variety of continuing characters and for the kingdom itself. While it's set a thousand years ago, the strip's humor occasionally satirizes modern American culture, and deliberate anachronisms are rampant. Technology changes to suit whatever a gag requires; a battle with spears and arrows might be followed by a peasant using an ATM . The general trend is that even though the personalities of the characters are well known, their surroundings will morph to allow a good joke. For instance, in some strips the King is curiously elected to his monarchial position, (albeit through rigged ballots). The aspects that stay the same, however, are that Id is in the middle of nowhere, home to a large castle surrounded by a moat . The King and his subjects run an inept army perpetually at war with "the Huns ", while the unhappy, overtaxed peasants (or Idiots) make little money as farmers and stablehands to keep modest lifestyles.

The Wizard of Id mostly features unrelated jokes from day to day, but occasionally it will run a sequence on a given theme over a week or two. In 1967 there was a story with the Wizard taking over the throne, which lasted six weeks. It also follows the convention of Sunday strips with a short joke in the first two panels, followed by an extended gag. Parker's drawing style was well suited to the humor; minimal background detail was given in each panel to allow a concentration on dialogue. As the years passed and Parker's style became cruder (with sparcer linework and less consistent proportions), he drew still less background detail. The drawing style of certain characters has changed from the early years of the strip to today. For example, the old style of the King's head was more rectangular, had a crown with identifiable card suits on it (club, diamond, heart), his moustache and beard always hid his mouth, and his beard frequently extended to a curved point when the King was shown in profile (see The Wondrous Wizard of Id, 1970 CBS Publications).

In the new style, the King's head is more trapezoidal with a slightly smaller and undecorated crown, he has a huge nose (even bigger than Rodney's) which covers his mouth and chin, and when he opens his mouth it appears that his beard has been shaved off. Rodney's nose used to be markedly larger—about twice the size of most other characters' noses—but in current strips his nose is about the same size as everyone else's. The Wizard of Id has enjoyed a successful life to date. It has been named best humor strip by the National Cartoonists Society in 1971, 1976, 1980, 1982 and 1983. In 1984, Parker received a Reuben Award for his work on the strip. Dozens of paperback collections have been published since 1965, and some titles are still in print as of 2010.

Fellow cartoonist Gary Larson , who also created a comic strip that dabbles in black humor , wrote (in Prehistory of The Far Side ) that he wonders if the creators of The Wizard Of Id also get letters from Amnesty International condemning them for their comic depictions of torture. Both of the strip's creators died within days of one another. Hart died on April 7, 2007, with Parker following on April 15. Characters The Wizard of Id has a varied set of principal characters, each with a developed personality and a handful of running gags relating to them. A Wizard of Id strip featuring the King of Id. The King: Like most characters in the strip, the King is named simply after his role. "Sire" to his subjects, he is the greediest, most evil man in the kingdom, and yet he maintains a sense of humor. Jokes are often centered on his height (about three feet), and he wears a crown and cape that makes him look like a playing card. From his throne room he hands out terrible punishments for crimes, (executions being quite common). He is only ever looking to win votes, power and money.

He has a thin skin and a short temper (especially about his height), and main characters often find themselves chained to the wall or the rack if they thoughtlessly insult the King. He is hated by the peasants, who to his dismay often proclaim "The King is a fink !" However, he is occasionally shown to have a quirky softer side, and it is mentioned his only friends are the moat monsters. His "pets" are a dragon and a St. Bernard dog named Bonapart; he rides Bonapart in fox hunts. His father, who was king until his son overthrew him, is kept in a tower surrounded by "The King of Id" jacks-in-the-box — the only gifts his son gives him. His mother works as a charwoman and routinely complains and scolds her son — the only person who ever does so. The King appeared in the 75th anniversary storyline of the comic strip Blondie. According to Dagwood, the King and Dagwood's boss are soulmates. The Wizard: The King's royal wielder of magic , sometimes nicknamed "Wiz". He is smart but sarcastic, good-natured but cynical, and is constantly dominated by his wife, Blanche.

He wears a traditional pointed wizards' cap festooned with stars and crescent moons, like Merlin . From his basement he works over a vat, where his spirit familiar lives. He is capable of powerful spells, but often his plans backfire on him. His incantations usually sound a little like, "Frammin' on the jim-jam, frippin at the krotz." He is friendly to all the King's subjects, but like most of them, he secretly considers the King to be a creep (or a fink). Sir Rodney. Sir Rodney the Chicken-Hearted: Usually just called "Rodney", he is the King's chief knight and head of the hapless royal army. He is a tall, lanky man of dopey intelligence who wears green chainmail and carries a spear. He is hopeless as a warrior, and his troops are just as incompetent. Rodney is at heart a coward; he is terrified of fighting and often pretends to be good at slaying dragons , while in fact he once bribed one, (known as "Dragy".) He has an enormous nose, the source of many jokes - and is always trying to win the King's attention.

He occasionally works as a spy , wearing a tree costume with a large hole to accommodate his nose. In recent comics, Rodney and his men (along with a stowaway Bung) journeyed at sea to capture pirates but returned empty-handed. Spook: A miserable, comically destitute prisoner who for many years has lived in the dungeons beneath the castle. He is covered from head to toe with hair, sometimes being likened to a giant rat. His crime was one of a few mentioned things (when a visiting earl expressed an interest in meeting the only person to beat the King at croquet, he is introduced to the Spook. Or when he called the King a "two bit, four flushing, dirty, lowdown, indiscriminate clod" in an early strip), but most of the time it is accepted that the King sentenced Spook to a lifetime in the dungeon for calling him a fink. He is treated poorly by the system, but his best friend is the warder Turnkey, posted outside his cell. He lives happily beneath the level of the moat, eating "swill" - a bland, disgusting slop similar to garbage - and for a hobby attempts to escape on a regular basis.

He normally tunnels under the walls only to have his plans ironically cut short. His favorite book is "101 Ways to Escape" (coincidentally written by himself). It is mentioned that his full name is Wellington J. Farnsworth Spookingdorf the Third in a strip featured in Volume #10 of the series. Turnkey: The guard who runs the dungeons but spends all his time sitting outside the Spook's cell. In a way their lives are similar - he is stuck in the same place all day and he doesn't have an important place in the world. He sometimes expresses frustration about this to the Spook. Blanche: The Wizard's domineering harridan of a wife. It has been said the Wizard married Blanche for her money, for she is considered extremely ugly by everyone in the kingdom. She nags at Wiz every day, and her cooking is awful. Her mother (who is never seen) is apparently just as bad. Occasionally though, she looks to him for romance, which he is hesitant to offer. She also heads the Women's Liberation front in Id. Bung: The King's jester .

An chronic alcoholic who spends little time entertaining, and most of his time haunting the saloons of Id, or in the royal wine cellar. He wears traditional jester's garb with bells on the bonnet, but he is rarely seen to perform. Always drunk on wine or spirits of any kind, he is cunning at supporting his habit without paying any money for it. He once declared, "I've learned the secret to avoiding hangovers: Don't sober up!" (A " bung " is a cork in a barrel or bottle of an alcoholic beverage.) In classic cartoon tradition, his eternally intoxicated state is portrayed by a prominent red nose surrounded by tiny, fizzing bubbles. Gwen: A beautiful but frustrated maiden who, as her blonde stereotype suggests, is quite clueless. She is adored by all but is in love only with Rodney. They sometimes date, but in his non-macho way he is usually too dense to return the romantic feelings she has for him. She often spends time commiserating with Blanch, or conversing with frogs who claim to be enchanted princes. Larsen E. Pettifogger: Attorney-at-law in the kingdom of Id.

An incompetent, dishonest shyster with a big pretentious nose and stovepipe hat, he lies and cheats to protect criminals. While inept as a lawyer (he has never won a case), he is greedy and selfish, and doesn't mind imbibing alcohol at his clients' expense. He has been the Spook's lawyer on several occasions. His appearance and manner are patterned directly after W.C. Fields , one of whose film and radio characters was named "Larson E. Whipsnade". (The word "pettifogger" means a less-than-scrupulous attorney, and "Larsen E." is a pun on larceny .) Evil Spirit: An apparition who lives in the Wizard's vat and takes form as a smoky puff of gas. He keeps the Wizard company while at work, but he is more childish and gullible than evil. It is sometimes mentioned he has a "sewer wisp" for a girlfriend. The Doc: The royal physician, the subject of many doctor jokes. He plays golf, for instance, charges outrageous fees, and is indifferent to the health and welfare of his patients. His name was only revealed once (in a strip reprinted in Strike The Sot!

) - Dr. Puckerstein. The Duke: A vain, toadying nobleman who helps the King run the castle and shares in the duties of the government. He is pompous and self-admiring, and he never likes to get his hands dirty. Like Rodney, he strives to impress the King at all times. He is often cited as the King's "P.R. man". Lackey: The King's personal servant. He never says much, but is loyal enough to stand by the throne and await the King's every order. He is therefore often overworked. However, Lackey has displayed occasional resentment about his position; in one strip, when he informs the King that a vendor has arrived selling slaves , the indignant King orders Lackey to tell the visitor that the King doesn't believe in slavery. After confirming that the King is serious about this proclamation ("You're darned right!"), Lackey leaves the room, remarking "Tell him yourself, shorty." The Night Sentry: An unnamed tower guard who cries "Twelve o'clock and all's well", etc., but can't resist ad libbing sarcastic commentary - much to the annoyance of the King, who suffers from insomnia.

The Stablehands: Two unnamed peasants, invariably holding pitchforks and shovels, and unhappy in their work. Hart and Parker would cut to them whenever they had a "dung" joke. In addition to the above main cast, several recurring jokes have run throughout the life of the comic strip for which certain characters come back from time to time. Bung shown in a Dutch-language version of the cartoon. Robbing Hood: A forest-dweller who, unlike the Robin Hood character he parodies, "takes from the wretch and gives to the peer", (usually himself). The Lone Haranguer: A phantom heckler who frequently rides past the King's window to shout "The King is a fink!" The King has suffered anxiety over the stranger, but he and Rodney have never succeeded in capturing or identifying him, their plans constantly backfiring on themselves. The name is a play on The Lone Ranger . Troob: A local minstrel and poet , (a "troubadour") who travels the kingdom writing songs and commentary on Id's ways of life. He sometimes entertains the King on his lute , but his music is uninviting.

He is one of the few people in Id to be streetwise enough to see the bigger picture of the state of the kingdom. His song describes the place well: "The land of Id, 'tis such delight, the land of milk and honey / No need to lock your doors at night, the King has all the money!" Yodey: A stable boy whom Rodney is training to become a knight. He is a gigantic oaf, very strong but stupid and gullible. He looks up to Rodney to teach him, even though he is already more capable than Rodney is. Abra Cadaver: A Frankenstein -like monster the Wizard built out of old body parts. He is deranged but obedient, and is twice the size of the Wizard. The name is a play on " abracadabra " and " cadaver ". Bernie the Torch: An accident-prone peasant so unlucky that when he came out of hospital after being run over by a steamroller, a gargoyle fell on him. He was once hit by a meteorite during surgery, after getting run over by a horse. Magic Mirror: A talking mirror that lives to insult whomever happens to be addressing it, (usually either the King or Blanche).

Lance: Sir Rodney's stunt double , appeared 10/13/2009. There are many other generic characters Parker often included in the comic. They are not individually identifiable, but they serve as tellers of the jokes for each day's strip. In addition to assorted guards, peasants and executioners, they include the Huns, fortune tellers, dentists, bartenders, innkeepers, town criers, insurance salesmen, monks, rats, horses and frogs, to name a few. International publication The strip has been translated into Finnish as Velho, meaning "wizard". A version in the Kainuu dialect called Näläkämoan noeta - Veleho kaenuuks was published in 2001. In Denmark it is called Troldkarlen Kogle and has previously appeared in the comic magazine "Basserne" In Italy, The Wizard of Id is known as Mago Wiz (Wiz The Sorcerer) and has been published with great success in the comics magazines Il Mago and Linus , and in the science fiction magazine Urania , plus several hardcover editions also by Mondadori .

The German version is called Magnus der Magier (Magnus the Magician). In Sweden it is called Trollkarlen från id. In the Netherlands it is called De Tovenaar van Fop. (The Wizard of Fool, 'fool' in the sense of 'to trick'.) The strip is known in many Spanish-speaking countries as El Mago Fedor. In India it is published in English in the comics section of the English daily newspaper Deccan Chronicle . Treatment of the comic strip varies in individual countries, especially in monarchies such as Saudi Arabia and Thailand. In the former, any references to the King are painstakingly deleted and replaced with "the boss." In Thailand, although many installments of the strip can be deemed to be critical of local mores and of the monarchy itself, Thai censors have to date not bothered with the material. External links The Wizard of Id | Series | LibraryThing Red Meat: A Collection of Red Meat Cartoons From the Secret Files of Max Cannon by Max Cannon (1996) Series description The Wizard of Id is a daily newspaper comic strip created by American cartoonists Brant Parker and Johnny Hart.

Beginning in 1964, the strip follows the antics of a large cast of characters in a shabby medieval kingdom called "Id". From time to time, the king refers to his subjects as "Idiots". (The title is a play on The Wizard of Oz, combined with the Freudian psychological term Id, which represents the instinctive and primal part of the human psyche.) In 1997 Brant Parker passed his duties on to his son, Jeff Parker, who had already been involved with creating Id for a decade. As of late 2002, the strip appears in some 1,000 newspapers all over the world, syndicated by Creators Syndicate. US Wizard of Id Books were in the same order as they were reproduced in the UK. The American versions had some numbering but it wasn't on every issue. After the 22nd all titles are unique to the US only. The Wizard of Id books in the UK were reproduced from the American editions by Coronet Books. These books were issued as a numbered series, but unfortunately, like with BC books, Coronet Books were not very clever when assigning the number to the next book released... with this series they totally lost the plot !

The 11th book was numbered 12 (so there was no No 11) and they did not notice their mistake for three issues ! Consequently, No 12 was numbered 13, No 13 was numbered 14 and they finally noticed and numbered No 14 as 14 (making two No 14s) ! This was really frustrating to us collectors ! To make matters worse, they did it again...! No 21 was numbered 20 (so there were two No 20s) and No 22 (the final one) was numbered 21. Sadly, Coronet Books disappeared towards the end of the Eighties, and No 22 was the last to be issued. The Wizard of Id (and BC) were very popular in Australia, where large soft-cover magazine size books were produced, reproducing strips as published in Australian newspapers.

The publishers that produced these books were The Australian (1968), Ibis (from 1969 to 1975), Beaumont (from 1976 to 1984) and Capricorn (from 1985 to 1986). In addition, Budget Books produced a series of standard size and long landscape size books in 1987. Related series Series?! How do series work? To create a series or add a work to it, go to a "work" page. The "Common Knowledge" section now includes a "Series" field. Enter the name of the series to add the book to it. Works can belong to more than one series. In some cases, as with Chronicles of Narnia , disagreements about order necessitate the creation of more than one series . Tip: If the series has an order, add a number or other descriptor in parenthesis after the series title (eg., "Chronicles of Prydain (book 1)"). By default, it sorts by the number, or alphabetically if there is no number. If you want to force a particular order, use the | character to divide the number and the descriptor.

So, "(0|prequel)" sorts by 0 under the label "prequel." What isn't a series? Series was designed to cover groups of books generally understood as such (see Wikipedia: Book series ). Like many concepts in the book world, "series" is a somewhat fluid and contested notion. A good rule of thumb is that series have a conventional name and are intentional creations, on the part of the author or publisher. For now, avoid forcing the issue with mere "lists" of works possessing an arbitrary shared characteristic, such as relating to a particular place. Avoid series that cross authors, unless the authors were or became aware of the series identification (eg., avoid lumping Jane Austen with her continuators). Also avoid publisher series, unless the publisher has a true monopoly over the "works" in question. So, the Dummies guides are a series of works. But the Loeb Classical Library is a series of editions, not of works. Helpers The Wizard of Id in Regular science and alternative science Forum 4 External links Overview In the early 1960s Johnny Hart, who had become successful among cartoonists for previously creating B.C., began collaborating with a friend who had not been published before, Brant Parker.

(Parker would go on to create the strips Crock and Out of Bounds.) Having already made a cartoon about the Stone Age in B.C., Hart advanced through time to the Middle Ages, taking an idea from a deck of playing cards to create the first few strips of The Wizard of Id. The strip was first syndicated on November 9, 1964, drawn by Parker and co-written by Parker and Hart. The Wizard of Id deals with the goings-on of the run-down, oppressed Kingdom of Id. It follows people from all corners of the kingdom, but concentrates on the court of a tyrannical dwarf-sized monarch, known only as "the King". The jokes center on the idea that people are stuck with the King as their ruler, and that his administration's incompetence has led to a kingdom that is, amusingly, poorly kept. The cast is big for a daily cartoon strip, and there are recurring jokes for each character and for the kingdom itself, so that from day to day it appears as if it were several comic strips based in the same place. Id is known as "the land of milk and honey", and while it is set a thousand years ago, the strip's humor occasionally takes the reader through satire of American culture.

Technology changes to suit whatever a joke requires: a battle with spears and arrows might be followed by a peasant using an ATM. The general trend is that even though the personalities of the characters are well known, their surroundings will morph to satisfy a good joke. For instance, in some strips the King is curiously elected to his position, albeit through rigged ballots. The aspects that stay the same, however, are that Id is in the middle of nowhere and is home to a large castle surrounded by a moat. The King and his subjects run an army that fight "the Huns", and keep guards who shout the time and "all's well" from the castle walls, while the peasants, or "Id-iots", make little money as stablehands to keep modest lifestyles. The Wizard of Id mostly features unrelated stories from day to day, but occasionally it will carry an ongoing series of jokes over a week or two. It also follows the convention of having an extended Sunday strip with a short joke in the first two panes. Parker's drawing style was well suited to the humor of the strip; little background detail was given in each pane, to allow a concentration on dialogue.

As the years passed, even as Parker's style became more refined (with cleaner lines and more consistent proportions) he drew still less background detail. The drawing style of certain characters has changed from the early years of the strip to today. For example, the old style of the King's head was more rectangular, had a crown with identifiable card suits on it (club, diamond, heart), his moustache and beard always hid his mouth, and his beard frequently extended to a curved point when the King was shown in profile (see The Wondrous Wizard of Id, (P) 1970 CBS Publications). In the new style, the king's head is more trapezoidal with a slightly smaller and undecorated crown, he has a huge nose (even bigger than Rodney's) which covers his mouth and chin, and when he opens his mouth it appears that his beard has been shaved off. Rodney's nose used to be markedly larger -- about twice the size of most other characters' noses -- but in current strips his nose is about the same size as everyone else's, which dampens jokes about his nose. The Wizard of Id has enjoyed a successful life to date.

It has been named best humor strip by the American National Cartoonists Society in 1971, 1976, 1980, 1982 and 1983, and Johnny Hart received a Reuben Award for his work on it and BC in 1968, an award which Brant Parker later received for it in 1984. Furthermore, it has seen dozens of paperback collections published since 1965, and even now there are some still in print. Both of the strip's creators died within days of one another; Hart died on April 7, 2007, with Parker following on April 15. A Wizard of Id strip featuring the King of Id. Characters The Wizard of Id has a varied set of principle characters, each with a developed personality and a few jokes relating to them. The King: Like most characters in the strip, the King is named simply after his role. "Sire" to his subjects, he is the greediest, most evil man in the kingdom, and yet he maintains a sense of humor about his desire to stay wealthy.

Jokes are often played on his height (about three feet), and he wears a crown and cape that makes him look like a playing card. From his throne room he hands out terrible punishments for crimes (executions being quite common), only ever looking to win votes, power and money. He has a short temper, especially about his height, and main characters often find themselves chained to the wall if they thoughtlessly insult the king. He is hated by the peasants, who to his dismay, often proclaim, "The King is a fink!" However, he is often shown to have a quirky softer side, and it is mentioned his only friends are the moat monsters. The Wizard: The king's royal wielder of magic, sometimes nicknamed "Wiz". He is very smart but sarcastic, fun-loving, and overall good-natured, but he is constantly dominated by his wife Blanch. From his basement he works over a vat, where his spirit familiar lives. He is capable of powerful spells, but often his plans backfire on him, and his magic is a failure.

His incantations usually sound a little like, "Frammin' on the jim-jam, frippin at the krotz." He is friendly to all the king's servants, but like most of them, he secretly considers the King to be a creep (or a fink). Sir Rodney. Sir Rodney: The king's head knight, the controller of the army. He is a tall, lanky man of dopey intelligence who wears green armour and carries a spear, although he is hopeless as a knight and his armies are just as incompetent. A coward, he is terrified of fighting, and often pretends to be good at slaying dragons while in fact he once befriended one known as "Dragy". He has an enormous nose, and is always trying to win the king's attention. He occasionally works as a spy, wearing a tree costume with a large hole to accommodate his nose. Blanch: The wizard's domineering wife. It has been said he married Blanch for her money, for she is considered extremely ugly by everyone in the kingdom. She nags at "Wiz" every day, and her mother (whom we never see) is apparently just as bad to him.

Occasionally though, she looks to him for romance that he is hesitant to offer her. Her cooking is very bad, and she heads the women's liberation front in Id. ("Blanch" or "Blanche" is an oft-used name in popular media, such as the female half of the radio couple The Bickersons, and the wife of Oscar Madison in The Odd Couple.) The Duke: A nobleman who helps the king run the castle and the duties of the government. He is pompous and self-admiring, and he never likes to get his hands dirty. Like Rodney, he strives to impress the king at all times. He is often cited as the king's "PR man". Lackey: The king's personal servant ("lackey" being a synonym). He never says much, but is loyal to stand by the throne and await the king's every order. He is overworked, therefore. Evil Spirit: An apparition who lives in the wizard's vat and takes form as a smoky puff of gas. He keeps the wizard company while at work, but he is childish and gullible. It is sometimes mentioned he has a "sewer wisp" for a girlfriend.

Bung shown in a Dutch-language version of the cartoon. Bung: The king's jester. An alcoholic who spends little time entertaining the king and most of his time among the bars of Id. He wears a traditional jester's uniform with bells on the bonnet, but when he performs he is not very good. Always drunk on wine or spirits of any kind, he is cunning to support his habit without paying any money for it. He is sometimes friendly with the mice that live in wine cellars. "I've learned the secret to avoiding hangovers: Don't sober up!" (A "bung" is a cork in a barrel or bottle of an alcoholic beverage). Gwen: A beautiful maiden who, as her blonde stereotype would suggest, is quite clueless. She is adored by all but is in love only with Rodney. They sometimes date, but in his non-macho ways he usually doesn't return the romantic feelings she has for him. She often spends time with Blanch. Spook: A prisoner who for many years has lived in the dungeon beneath the castle. He is covered from head to toe with hair, sometimes being likened to a giant rat. His crime was one of a few mentioned things (e.g.

a visitor expresses an interest in meeting the only person to beat the king at croquet and is introduced to the Spook), but most of the time it is accepted the King sentenced the Spook to spend a lifetime in the dungeon for calling him a fink. He is treated poorly by the system, but his best friend is the turnkey that lives outside his cell. He lives happily beneath the level of the moat eating "swill", a bland, disgusting slop similar to garbage, and for a hobby attempts to escape on a regular basis. He normally tunnels under the walls only to have his plans ironically cut short. It is mentioned that his full name is Wellington J. Fransworth Spookingdorf the Third in a strip featured in Volume #10 of the publication series. Turnkey: The guard who runs the dungeons but spends all his time sitting outside the Spook's cell. In a way their lives are similar - he is stuck in the same place all day and he doesn't have an important place in the world - and he sometimes expresses unhappiness about this to the Spook. Larsen E. Pettifogger: Attorney-at-law in the kingdom of Id.

He is the stereotypical lawyer, with a big pretentious nose and hat. He lies and cheats to protect criminals. While incompetent at his job, he is selfish and greedy for money, and doesn't mind drinking a lot of alcohol. He has been the Spook's lawyer on several occasions. His appearance and behavior are patterned directly on W.C. Fields, one of whose film characters was "Larsen E. Whipsnade". The term "pettifogger" means a less-than-scrupulous attorney, and "Larsen E." is pronounced as "larceny". Troob: A local musician and poet (a "troubadour") who lives to walk around the kingdom writing songs and commentary on Id's ways of life. He sometimes entertains the king, but his music is uninviting. He is one of the few people in Id to be streetwise enough to see the bigger picture of the state of the kingdom. His song describes the place well: "The land of Id, 'tis such delight, the land of milk and honey.

No need to lock your doors at night, the king has all the money!" In addition to the above main cast, throughout the life of the comic strip there have been several recurring jokes for which certain characters come back from time to time. Robbing Hood: A forest-dweller who, like the character Robin Hood, steals from the rich and gives to the poor. He is wanted for theft, but is fairly kind. The Lone Haranguer: A phantom heckler who rides past the King's window frequently to shout "The king is a fink!" The King has suffered anxiety over the stranger, but has never succeeded in capturing or identifying him. (Name is a play on "The Lone Ranger"). Yodey: A stable boy whom Rodney began to train to become a knight. He is a gigantic oaf, very strong in battle, but stupid and gullible. He looks up to Rodney to teach him, even though he is already more capable than Rodney is. The Doc: The royal physician who remains the subject of many doctor jokes. He plays golf, for instance, and has a lot of money.

Bernie the Torch: An accident-prone man so unlucky that when he came out of hospital after being run over by a steamroller, a gargoyle fell on him. He was once hit by a meteorite during surgery. Theodore: The royal accountant. Abra Cadaver: A Frankenstein-like monster the wizard built out of old body parts. He is deranged and obedient, and is twice the size of the wizard. (Play on "abracadabra" and "cadaver"). There are many other generic characters Parker often included in the comic. They are not individually identifiable, but they serve as tellers of the jokes for each day's strip. In addition to guards, peasants and executioners, they include the Huns, fortune tellers, dentists, insurance salesmen, priests, and frogs, to name a few.

The Big Apple: Golden Rule ("He who has the gold makes the rules") Entry from June 13, 2009 Golden Rule ("He who has the gold makes the rules") Remember the Golden Rule (1971), by Brant Parker and Johnny Hart, is the title of a collection of The Wizard of Id newspaper cartoons. In one cartoon from May 1965, the king declares: “REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE!” A peasant asks: “WHAT THE HECK IS THE GOLDEN RULE?” A musician replies: “WHOEVER HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES.” The original “golden rule” is to do unto others what you would like to be done to you. The Wizard of Id‘s version has become very popular.

Another, more cynical version of the “golden rule” is: “Do unto others before they do unto you!” [This entry was assisted by research from the Quote Investigator .] Wikipedia: The Wizard of Id The Wizard of Id is a daily newspaper comic strip created by American cartoonists Brant Parker and Johnny Hart.

Wikipedia: Ethic of reciprocity The ethic of reciprocity, also known as the Golden Rule, is an ethical code that states one has a right to just treatment, and a responsibility to ensure justice for others.

Reciprocity is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of human rights, though it has its critics. A key element of the golden rule is that a person attempting to live by this rule treats all people, not just members of his or her in-group, with consideration. It exists in both positive (generally structured in the form of “do to others what you would like to be done to you") and negative form (structured in the form of “do not do to others what you would not like to be done to you"). While similar those forms are not strictly the same as they differ in what to do with what you would like to be done to you but the other party would not like to be done upon it. Negative form does directly not contain that while positive form can exclude it indirectly with that you would like from others to check if you really like it, what is an example of using the golden rule in a context which makes it self-correcting, as argued in the criticisms section. The golden rule has its roots in a wide range of world cultures, and is a standard which different cultures use to resolve conflicts; it was present in the philosophies of ancient India, Greece, and China.

Principal philosophers and religious figures have stated it in different ways, but its most common English phrasing is attributed to Jesus of Nazareth in the Biblical book of Luke: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” The “Do unto others” wording first appeared in English in a Catholic Catechism around 1567, but certainly in the reprint of 1583.
